Description Only in death does he reach for his dreams.

This map was featured on 2009-03-10

Ninja are commonly confined to matte grey halls patrolled by malice-filled machines, but some break free of those bonds and travel to constellations fixed elegantly to the sky. They rejoice in the silence of space, content only to hear their own hearts beating and plan each and every move.

The Burning Man Constellation reaches for his dreams in death, but the ninja that follow him dare to dream while still alive. — PALEMOON

Comments

I

liked it.

I know this was forever ago, but I never saw that it was featured. First of all I was an angsty teen trying to do something with imagery and minimalism even though I had no idea what I was doing. Second of all, I definitely spent a lot of time making sure all the jumps were just right while keeping the aesthetic. Third of all, most of my levels are about fast AGDs. Anyone left unsatisfied without trying that shouldn't be surprised. I hope if anyone stumbles across this level they can still enjoy it despite the clusterfuck of comments.

Best map+review combination ever.
after 8 months. That's just odd.

@gugzusamurai

Ever heard of simplicity? And I seriously doubt you could have made this in 2 minutes, since all of your maps are despairingly bad, and you gave all of your time to spamming and sniping rather than trying to become a better mapmaker.

Well that was my little rant against a disabled account on a map that no-one will ever visit again...
So I'll leave you with my two cents on the map:
Love the simplicity, the mines, the gold and the bounceblocks.

wait, let me stop my spamming on other maps for a minute and seriously comment on yours. THIS? FEATURED? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? i could make this in 2 minutes! this is literally an embarrasment to NUMA.
back to my spamming.
pathetic. 0/5.

And the feature was brilliant as well. Kudos, PALEMOON.

The mines arent really there to be effective. They are more for asthetics I think. And the real fun of the maps is trying to get a good agd. That is where the real challenge and fun is at.

TOO EASY

but slow agd
Demo Data

I dun get it

So... it's a map... AGD is super-easy, the mines are basically 0 threat, there's nothing exciting to run from... is it supposed to be an AGD race or something? I don't care if a map is challenging (though I prefer it) as long as it is exciting/fun or shows a new concept. This map doesn't have any of those 3 things, so personally it's only a 2/5 for me.

A map doesn't have to be complex to be good (in fact, simple is good- ask a programmer *makes pun about being an O(1) map* :D), but... it's a mine jumper without any threatening mines. Wat?

Very boring.

No real threat at all and seemed kinda pointless.

Burning Man is a hippiefest where a bunch of hippies go to the middle of the desert, bring a shitload of art, and do a shitload of drugs. You have to bring your own water and food. People die out there. Money loses its value there, instead you trade stuff like poetry. Typical hippies.
My mother goes every year.

I didn't like this

doesn't seem like feature-content

burning man

... is actually a beach event held in the states where they build a city of wood for a few days and then at the end of it burn it down... wait it might not be a beach thing... but they do it on sand I think... lol just check it out: http://www.burningman.com/

This appeals to me

for some reason or another. Nice choice for a review.

Not a very difficult level to make or complete with all gold it would've been a 2 if the person didn't look cool. Oh yea and how do you post demoes?

Incredible.

I liked this map...The concept and the gold-placement is is awesome.Agd:

beautiful feature

AGD

At first it seems like a fairly shallow map, but once you start trying for a good demo it gets a lot better, very addictive and open. Great aesthetics. 4
